Article Evaluation

1. In this article a lot of the information is on track about the artists life and his work through out his life. When the article talks about is personal life and beliefs it is very essential because it plays a role in his work.

2. This article does a lot of praising Jarman which is not a bad thing but it could seem slightly biased. Jarman seems almost like a perfect person even when he is ill he has done things for his community. It is not a bad thing but I must do much more research to find if he had any flaws or bad sides to him, or basically any unsucceful projects

3. It is made clear that Jarmans works are dedicated to the gay community and also to those who suffer from AIDS as he did. Even after death he was praised with films dedicated to him.

4. Out of the few citations I tried to follow I found two that led to no where. The others I followed where hard to tell if they were liable sources. Others were liable.

6There is no current information about his work and if it has inspired others or if his work continues to be used by others until this day. I feel the information is up to date.

7. most of the conversations or concerns on the talk page are about certain facts that may or may not be important to add. People also want to know where to find certain projects of Jarmans.

9. It differs in the fact that it seems slightly biased.

Chinese Exclusion Act: Article

The first thing I would like to add to this article would be additional citations to the Context section of the page. I have also found a source from the university library called [null The Chinese Exclusion Acts: A Racist Chapter in U.S. Civil Rights History.] by Doug Chin. Another article which I would like to cite is called [null Fearing yellow, imagining white: media analysis of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882], by Sang Hea Kil. This article reviews how the media covered and viewed the Chinese population in San Francisco.

Chinese Exclusion Act: Improving the article

The first thing that I would like to improve would be the grammar of the article, I would like to get it to flow and i would like to improve some of the sentences. Another thing that I would like to do is include more scholarly peer reviewed articles because the citations that are listed are from websites that are not highly trusted sites, I would like to add articles.

I would also like to add missing things like the history of this act lie how it started and how we were before the start of this act.

Bubonic Plague in Chinatown[edit]
In 1900-1904 San Francisco suffered from the Bubonic plague. It first struck San Francisco's Chinatown, causing people to fall ill and experience fevers, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches and fatigue. Left untreated this infection can cause chronic complications such as Gangrene, meningitis and even death. The Bubonic Plague outbreak in San Francisco Chinatown strengthened Anti-Chinese sentiment in all of California despite science research at the time showing it was caused by Yersinia pestis which was spread by fleas, found in small rodents. When the first round of people died from this plague, the companies and the state denied the fact that there was a plague, in order to keep San Francisco's reputation and businesses in order. The plague did not derive from Chinatown, It was due to the unsanitary conditions and population density that outbreaks such as this one were spread quickly, and therefore affected a large number of people in this community. [1]

Its first deaths in San Francisco were in 1898, a ship from a French bark had some passengers who had died of the plague. After its arrival in San Francisco, 18 more Chinatown residents died of the same symptoms. The mayor decided not to release a public Warning of the outbreak, thinking it would affect San Francisco's commercial business. Chinatown was quarantined, and sanitary services were suspended for some time until presence of bacteriological source was found. A sanitary campaign was launched, however many residents chose to avoid anything and everything that had to do with the plague due to fear and humiliation. As more and more deaths occurred, the city began being more aggressive, and they started checking nearly everyone in Chinatown for any signs of disease. Therefore, the Chinese community began to distrust the government even more. Racism toward Chinese immigrants was socially excepted and social rights were often times denied to this community. This fact made it harder for the community if Chinatown to seek medical attention for their illnesses during the plague.
